Are you talking the stock email app or individual yahoo and gmail apps?

Download the yahoo app. Also go into settings>applications>manage applications>all scroll down to gmail, click it and hit clear data. Hopefully that will clear out anything bad in the data and restart the app.

I wentin there and it read a lot of 0's and the only option it would let me pick was uninstall last update so I tried that so we will c lol

I'm using a blacked out version (older) of Gmail and have had no problems to date- used with many Roms, 3 different modems. If you still have issues, be rid of whatever version you have and start skimming the app forum...good luck!

This happens to me on 4G as well. There are times I send e-mails from it and people never receive them and there are times I never get them. Then sometimes it works perfect. I switched to a 3rd party e-mail app. It never fails me. I am using Kaiten but its a paid app. Try K9 on the Market. You can make it black themed and it works well for many.

I had this prob few days back, I turned syncing off, then back on. I then reboot the phone and bam! It started working again.
P.S. Under Applications>All. I also cleared data/cache.

Settings->Accounts and Sync. On apps, select All, and choose Gmail, clear cache and data on that one.

I have lost some faith in G-Mail. I don't understand why I can get a 3rd party app like K9, add my G-Mail account to that, and people receive the e-mails faster than using G-Mail itself. If someone can explain why this is, I would appreciate it.

I think it depends on many factors, we all have different apps, different roms, kernels, and also different qualiies of reception.

Can you be a bit more clear? I'm understanding bits and pieces... what I explained over clearing the cache was your answer to your question previous to your last post.

I cannot send email with gmail now
There was a G-Mail update today. I wonder if that has to do with it. I always have mixed results sending and receiving with G-Mail. Sometimes people say they don't get it until hours later, sometimes immediately. Now I use K9 or Kaiten Mail mainly.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
This used to happen to me occasionally. All you have to do is go into Manage Applications, go to Gmail, and clear the cache/data. Then go back into Gmail, set it up, and wait for your mail to reload. You may even have to hit refresh a few times, but it will come back. Then try to send mail again and it should work.
If this doesn't work, what Gmail version are you using? Does it happen to be the transparent one? Or just stock?
Well I am using the Kaiten Mail for now on because Gmail sucks ass

ICS Gmail Push Doesn't Work

I've always used K9 mail because the 2.x stock Gmail app wasn't that good, but I'm really liking the ICS Gmail app. Only problem is push mail doesn't work. I tried the stock Email app too and that's not working either. I would hate to have to use K9 with a great stock app, but I really want push mail to work. Any suggestions?
I did a brief search and didn't come up with anything useful so sorry if I missed a known fix for this.

Sync is on for both of my Google accounts and still no push mail. I flashed the Android Revolution Hd ROM but I don't think that would have anything to do with it.

I've been using gmail perfectly fine for over 2 years now. Push has always worked for me. From an OG Droid, to Nexus S, to Galaxy Nexus.
Working great for me; I can hear my computer ding when I get a new email at virtually the same time my phone does, so I am satisfied that push mail is working.
Weird part is that I've never had an issue getting push mail through K9. It works on and off with the stock Gmail app.

Well good chance it is, since push mail works perfectly on stock. I have 2 Gmail and 1 regular email account set up in the Accounts section and all of them work perfectly.
Probably is the ROM. I don't really need push mail until I'm back in school anyways so I'm not gonna worry about it too much.

hi, i have the same issue, i also use ARHD 6.5.0.
did you restore a back up of an old system after flashing the ROM ??

Riiiiiiight, so you flashed a custom ROM on your phone and so it must be Google's fault that push email isn't working for you, when it is working for everyone who is running stock ICS? Yeah of course

K9 uses IMAP_IDLE for 'push email', whereas the Gmail app (from what I had read back when I first got an Android in 2009) uses it's own method for push email. It may even use C2DM. This may explain why you are not having trouble with K9, but are having trouble with the proper Gmail app.
It does seem to be the custom ROM you have flashed.

Same problem here...anyone solved it yet?
gmail actually has push? The only time I get new mail is when I tell gmail to check for it or if I have sync turned on and it does its frequency check.
The gmail APP uses push.

So how come the only time I've ever received emails is when I've manually checked or when sync kicks in? On froyo, ginerbread, and now ICS.

Push notifications

is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.
Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.
Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?

S3's email app is terrible! Alternatives?? please help

I liked the stock email app on the galaxy S2, I figured that once I got my s3 that email would be similar, but it's not, it is much much worse. Is there any way to install the old mail app from the S2 on the S3?
I have tried the alternative email programs from the play store and I just don't like them.
Please help!
Thanks a million.
Enhanced Email...
I may not be correct, but.... I believe the GS2 used an email program built by Seven.
You may look and find an apk for Seven email+IM that should be similar. I personally cannot find a download link for it.
If you go their website, they do have a BETA Android program. http://community.seven.com/download.php Again, not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but may be worth a shot.
Edit: It appears they abandoned Android in the last year or something and the only client they currently are shown as making is the one for Hotmail's Android client. Sorry.

K-9 Mail is IMO a good email client. I don't know if it's one of the alternatives you tried and didn't like.
It's larger that Enhanced Email, but cheaper... (free)...
I'm new or I'd post a link to the Play store.
(I have no affiliation with K-9 Mail whatsoever.)

I'm going to try and push the SGS2 email.apk and exchange.apk later this evening. Please feel free to try it first if you have access.
I have been using Secure9 Mail for 6 months. And it has built-in encryption (if you want to use it).

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've tried all the free email apps on the play store and none of them really did it for me. Finally tried enhanced email too and that is a step in the right direction, hopefully I don't have any troubles from it.
p.s. I have the Gmail app, but I need to access my work email somehow.
Try touchdown by nitrodesk. It's one of the best

Only one I found I liked was Inomail,
What about the AOSP Google email? I think it looks great and works very well.
yea if you need to check an exchange acct at work I usually go between nitrodesk touchdown and moxier mail. One of those should be perfect for you I prefer touchdown really.

do you have the apks for AOSP?
the rom NoAOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759245
uses the email client from google nexus; a user there said it was the only email client they've used on the S3 that allowed them to connect to their work email.
perhaps download that rom, open the zip with 7zip and pull out the email.apk and put it on your phone.
try to install it normally, if not you may have to copy it to system/app with root explorer (reboot afterwards)
might be worth a look

In the SGS2 email you could make it inverted and control font size from the app.
I pushed the old app every way i could. No joy. May try a flashable zip, but I can't see that making much difference... I guess it would have to be ported.
